the START-STOPP system.

✓ Auto Hold is activated.

Stabilisation control (ESC)

✓

The automatic transmission mode is not selec-

ted.

ESC helps to stabilize the vehicle in borderline situa-

tions (e.g. when the vehicle starts to skid). ESC

brakes the individual wheels to maintain the direc-

tion of travel.

lit up - ESC Sport is activated

NOTICE

Disable Auto Hold to allow the vehicle to roll if nec-

essary when driving through a car wash.

Traction control (TCS)

ASR helps to stabilize the vehicle when accelerating

or driving on low-grip roads. ASR reduces the drive

power transmitted to the wheels when the wheels

spin.

ﬂashes - ASR is engaged

Antilock braking system (ABS)

ABS helps maintain control of the vehicle during

emergency braking. An ABS intervention is noticea-

ble by pulsating movements of the brake pedal.

Motor Slip Regulation (MSR)

MSR helps to maintain control of the vehicle in the

event of a sudden reduction in speed, e.g. on icy

roads. If the drive wheels lock, MSR increases the

engine speed. This reduces the braking eﬀect of the

engine and the wheels can rotate freely again.

Electronic Diﬀerential Lock (EDL)

EDL helps to stabilize the vehicle when driving on

road surfaces with diﬀerent grip under the individual

wheels. EDL brakes a spinning wheel and transmits

power to a diﬀerent drive wheel.

Electronic Diﬀerential Lock (XDL+)

XDL + helps to stabilize the vehicle during fast cor-

nering by braking the inside wheel of the driven axle.

Active steering assistance (DSR)

In diﬃcult situations, the DSR provides the driver

with a steering recommendation in order to stabilise

the vehicle.

Hill Hold Control

Hill Hold Control helps when starting oﬀ on uphill

gradients by braking the vehicle for about 2 seconds

after the brake pedal is released.

Operating conditions

✓ The gradient is at least 5%.

✓ The driver's door is closed.

Driver assist systems › Front Assist 157

Multi-Collision Brake (MCB)

MCB helps to decelerate and stabilize the vehicle af-

ter a collision with an obstacle. This reduces the risk

of further collisions.

Troubleshooting

Operating conditions

✓ There has been a frontal, side and rear collision of

a certain severity.

✓ The impact speed was greater than 10 km/h.

✓ The brakes, ESC and other required systems re-

mained functional after the impact.

✓ The accelerator pedal is not pressed.

Front Assist

Functionality

If the vehicle is decelerated using an assistance

system, pulsating movements of the brake pedal can

occur.

Front Assist monitors the distance to the vehicle

ahead and points out when the safety distance is ex-

ceeded. In borderline situations, it helps to avoid a

collision by braking interventions.

Regulation according to the vehicle in the adjacent

lane

If your vehicle is moving faster than the vehicle in

the next lane on the driver's side, at a speed of more

than 80 km/h, this may cause your vehicle to be con-

trolled according to that vehicle.

If a vehicle in front turns and there is a stationary ve-

hicle in front of this vehicle, the ACC must not re-

spond to the stationary vehicle.

direction from the lane marking. The steering inter-

vention can be overridden manually.

Always keep your hands on the steering wheel and

be prepared to override the steering intervention.
